Is Einaudi still writing?!?!? You bet he is. And after listening compulsively to the new album all this week, I am willing to state that I think it is one of his strongest albums to date, maybe even--dare I say it?--his best.

I just pre-ordered Einaudi Ludovico In a Time Lapse Piano Solo Book (Paperback)Release date: 07 February 2013. Only 7 days to go!!!

More info:

ISBN 13: 9781783050062ISBN 10: 1783050063Recorded in a remote monastery in Verona, Ludovico Einaudi's In A Time Lapse explores the concept of capturing emotions and experiences in a single moment in time. This exclusive matching piano songbook presents all 14 tracks from the album, plus five bonus pieces.

My teacher "introduced" me this amazing composer in November 2012 (i guess). The first time I heard it (music: Le Onde), I did not like much, but after listening more often, I started to love him. I've learned the Le Onde and now I'm finishing Nuvole Bianche

The next song I will learn is not from Ludovico, but, maybe, I'll comeback later to him.

I can't believe there is another portuguese in PW, AND he is playing Einaudi!Bem-vindo!!!!

[Is deliriously happy] My "In a Time Lapse" sheet music book arrived today!! I have been playing "Two Trees" for the past hour. It is beautiful. It is relatively easy. Did I mention I was deliriously happy??!?!

Good to know that. My book should arrive within days.What about "Life"?

Lucky Girl. I want to buy the book as well, but I have a few things to do first bah. What about Life, Run, Experience and Burning? Still relatively easy or much harder?

"Life" has some 16th-note triplet action that scares me. But in the scheme of things, it's fairly easy triplet action (i.e., triplets on the downbeat, none of this 3-against-2 polyrhythm stuff). The left hand is definitely easy.

"Run" looks a little scarier, as it's got some voicing issues that makes the notation a little weird in spots.

"Experience"-- hoo boy. We're talking nonstop 16th notes in different patterns across the two hands. Think "Divenire", without the slow easy part.

"Burning": Dead easy. Easier than "Two Trees," even.

I've got "Two Trees" down to where I can play it through, slowly, with a few hesitations and not at all artistically, but it's recognizable. I think it will be my next recital piece.

I still can't get over how wonderful this new album and sheet music collection is. I played "Two Trees" for my hubby for a Valentine's Day present. (What husband WOULDN'T want a mistake-ridden rough version of an Einaudi piece for Valentine's day?! ). I've gotten it to the polishing stage, and now I've added "Underwood" (which is dead easy, maybe his easiest piece yet) to the practice rotation.
